Is this weird?
I've tried multiple keyboards...
Now, I have changed the motherboard in the box...everything else works
fine (2 hd's, cdrom, floppy...)
When I'm prompted for things during boot (choosing kernel at LILO and
kudzu), it works fine.
I'm using RH 7.3, kernel 2.4.24 if that helps...

Thanks a lot

Mike

What kind of keyboard? PS/2 or USB? If it's USB, you need USB/HID
interface enabled in the kernel or the required modules loaded.

What kernel? I know that the 2.6.5 configuration warns:

CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD:
Say Y here if you want to use the old IBM PC/XT keyboard (or
compatible) on your system. This is only possible with a
parallel port keyboard adapter, you cannot connect it to the
keyboard port on a PC that runs Linux.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called xtkbd.

The OP does actually state what kernel :-) Question is, is it an AT mobo?
